I have been to the dealership three times to have my transmission evaluated due to the vehicle lurching forward as I slow down to a stop as well as rough shifting while while accelerating/decelerating. The dealership says a part needs to be replaced but was unable to give me an estimate of when the part will be in and will not return my calls for updates.

While driving the vehicle stopped working and would not accelerate. I took it to the dealership and they said that there was a problem with the filter that was attached to the transmission and they reset the transmission. Two days later it stop working while in the middle of an intersection and when it was down shifting it became jerky and would lunge forward. It also started making a noise when put into reverse and the dash said that the vehicle needed to be put into gear while I was driving. It is back at the garage again to be fixed. This is a serious safety issue! when I was at the service center the manager showed me a recall from Chrysler that was dated 11/2013 and was about this issue. He also told me that Chrysler stopped using this transmission at the end of 11/2013 because of these problems. There is no way to fix these problems, but Chrysler does not want recall any of these vehicles. What is a consumer suppose to do?

After coming to a complete stop the vehicle lunges forward. This is an intermittent issue, but appears to happen more frequently after the vehicle has been sitting for a period of time. Additionally the vehicle transmission is always trying to find a different gear (I describe this as fishing for a gear) up shifting when you want to slow down or just the opposite down shifting when you want to speed up.

As you accelerate the diesel Grand Cherokee and it reaches 7th gear, the car starts shuddering as if the vehicle is about to "fall apart". this issue happens every time when in 7th and 8th gear. I've had to use the paddle shifters to maintain the vehicle in 6th gear to avoid such shaking in the highway. I've taken the vehicle to an empty road and accelerated to reproduce the issue and kept my foot in the petal and it eventually settles down after 8th gear. But if you remove foot from gas and let the car shift back to 6th when you re-accelerate the shuddering returns again. The entire car just shakes. Jeep has been unable to find a solution to this and the vehicle is not even a year old yet.

While driving at 45 mph in traffic the Jeep stopped shifting and remained stuck in 6th gear. The vehicle completely stopped downshifting rendering acceleration impossible. The dealer said the transmission valve failed and had to be replaced.

My 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee ecodiesel shudders/vibrates intermittently at highway speeds. Evidently, this is a common problem in this particular model, and so much so that it now has a name, "fish bites". at least one technical service bulletin and possibly even more (many have similar symptoms) have acknowledged the drivetrain as the source and have attempted to resolve it with software flashes. After numerous visits to the dealer to correct the issue, the "fish bites" are still happening, and are getting increasingly worse. Unfortunately, after the last visit and being told it had been resolved, I had to find out that the attempted fix did not work while on a tight two-lane road. The occurrence nearly caused the vehicle to lose control at high speed. Prospective buyers of this model should recognize that it may be unsafe, as this unresolved issue was clearly a hazard to myself and to the vehicles in close proximity.

When coming to a slow brake, the brakes stutter and push the car forward. Additionally, the vehicle sometimes when driving at higher speeds (specifically on the freeway at about 60-70mph) engine revs high without kicking over. Furthermore, when slowing it has a hard time kicking down to the next gear. Transmission light has come on several times as well. When taking the vehicle in for service, they are unable to recognize any problems at all and can not fix.

When I go to press the brakes and come to a stop, my vehicle jerks when it slows down as if its almost stuck in a gear while it downshifts which causes the vehicle to move forward while trying to slow down which can cause an accident.

Vehicle suddenly and without warning got stuck in 4th gear and wouldn't shift into a higher or lower gear making it unable to accelerate and safely exit the highway. I was eventually able to get the car pulled over to safety and had it towed to a local dealership. The dealer diagnosis was that a cooling line popped out of the transmission which caused all the fluid to drain out.

While entering a busy interstate and accelerating from a stop to 65 mph on the onramp, the Jeep Grand Cherokee drive train began shuddering violently and would not stop. It felt like the vehicle was running over severe bumps in the road yet the surface was free of defects. I was disoriented by the shaking sensation which would stop if I decelerate but returned immediately when accelerating to merge. I was forced off the road by faster traffic and my inability to speed up. I had to stop on the roadside and attempt to merge again when traffic cleared. My re-attempt to accelerate caused shuddering again at 45 mph. I pulled over again and shut the vehicle off. I restarted and, on my third attempt, accelerated very aggressively with the vehicle shuddering at 45 mph up to 65 mph. When I quite accelerating the shudder quit. This violent drive train shudder has occurred often since then. I have learned that this occurs most often in the first 10 miles of operation and I can minimize the shudder when it occurs by accelerating at full throttle which is unsafe. My online research indicates others are complaining of this same issue in various auto forums. I have had my Jeep dealer apply service updates and test drive the vehicle but Jeep has yet to fix this issue. In my opinion, this is ridiculous in a new car and is a drive ability and safety concern.

Transmission will shudder while accelerating making the vehicle dangerous and difficult to control. Vehicle has been to the dealer multiple times and they have yet to fix it. Research has led me to believe that this is impacting many other Jeep's on the road today. I do not believe they are safe to be on the road until the problem is remedied.

Transmission locks up after starting, unable to shift into any gear, and malfunction indicator light "mil" is illuminated. In order to get the vehicle to move it must be shut off and on, sometimes more than one time. After 4 incidents, Jeep gc was brought to local service dept. Where several flash updates were performed to vehicles computer and valve body pump box was ordered. Jeep was returned for service 3 weeks later where transmission pump box was replaced and transmission re-trained. Since then the issue has continued to occur on 3 separate occasions. Additionally, now the diesel exhaust regeneration comes on every 30-40 miles where the car must continue to be run until regen has completed, no changes had been made to driving habits and prior to transmission work regen had never needed to come on. It is unknown if the Jeep gc can move when the mil and locked shifter occur as the issue has occurred only in flat areas (mostly home garage), however this could be a deadly issue if parked on hill and if vehicle transmission is not locking gears and can move forward or back. It does not appear that this is the case but can not be ruled out. Vehicle is going back in for service and transmission replacement. Based on research online it would appear transmission issues with the 2014 Jeep gc are widespread and even after repairs are performed the vehicle never drives properly or as it did previously and usually hesitates, shifts hard or jerks forward which is also very dangerous as it seems to be sporadic and unpredictable for drivers.

2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Consumer writes in regards to transmission issues. The consumer stated twice, he encountered a serious problem. When he attempted to make a turn, the vehicle almost stalled. He tried pumping the accelerator, but the vehicle would only move at a crawl. The second incident occurred on July 31, 2014, the consumer was attempting to make a turn, when the vehicle almost stalled. The consumer was informed there were some wires that rubbed against something that caused the engine to stall.

I have had this SUV for almost one year. On multiply instances I have thought to have put this truck in park, but it has either gone into neutral or reverse. It comes with an electronic shifter. Because it is electronic it has the same position in any and all of the four desired gears. Further complicating the process of making sure the truck is in the desired gear is that the only way to tell what gear you are in is by an illuminated shifter with letters P R N D/S... when it very sunny or you have the sunroof shade open it is even more difficult. Having the sunroof open on a sunny day(different than just the shade open) it is almost impossible!! I believe something tragic will occur eventually if this not corrected. It wont with me because I am very aware of the situation. But someone somewhere will not be as aware of it as I am! I have the same truck in 2009 and it does not operate in that method. I do not know how many other vehicles operate manner but I will not be buying another one and thought others deserved this information.

At random times, transmission sticks between drive and sport...and won't shift and car slows down. Have to pull out of traffic and stop to get transmission back in gear. Vehicle brought in for service July 2014 to dealership, within a month....same problem. This vehicle is unsafe and dangerous to drive. Prior to this...I had the check engine light come on 4 times.
